Last week during our second live Twitter Q&A (#MakerChat) we welcomed guest Liz Long. Liz is the Maker’s Row sourcing specialist who you can get weekly consultation calls with our concierge plan. During these calls, she helps you find and vet factories so that you can find the perfect one for you and the product you’re producing.
During #MakerChat she answered questions about choosing the right factory that ranged from vetting a factory to how to properly pay a factory. Here are some of the highlights!
